The darkness known as Night has seeped into the clear sky of Tokyo.
In this hour, people began their night activities such as having dinner, getting drunk at nearby Izakayas, and more.
Overall, the nights in Tokyo are quite peaceful.
But, that kind of peace didn't really last long...
CRUNCH CRUNCH
KYAAAA?!?!?!
A scream of terror and despair breaks the usual silence of Tokyo as a woman witnessed something horrible and also beyond her comprehension.
What the woman saw across from her is something, or rather someone munching the fresh corpse of a man.
RIIIIPPPP!!!!
KRAKKK!!!!
CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
The sound of flesh ripping, joints dislocating, and bones that crunched to crumbles is enough to make someone gone insane. Furthermore, a lot of blood starts spraying literally everywhere around the cannibal.
However, upon a closer look, only the outer appearance is similar to humans. Sharp canines, bloodshot eyes, and utterly pale skin are enough to convince anybody that this man is no human. He's what people refer to as Demon (Oni).
The scream from the poor woman itself continues until the Demon killed her using his sharp claws, and starts consuming the corpse of that same woman.
"GO YO! (Official Business!)"
Somehow, the death throes of the woman manage to call upon police magistrates unto the crime scene. Although they were heavily armed and have combat experience against criminals, they never once meet a Demon. In fact, they adamantly believe that Demon is nothing more than folklore.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" One officer shouted in terror.
"D-don't tell me, it's the rumored D-demon?" Another officer asks while trembling
"DO NOT FRET! This thing is nothing more than a can-" Someone supposedly within higher authorities / the captain spewing out orders to his subordinates before the Demon claw ripping off the helmet of the captain.
Before everyone could even react, one of the demon arms transformed into something akin to a tentacle, before it pierces the captain's throat. The tentacle arms then bulging heavily, while the captain's body shrinks rapidly.
His subordinates can only watch in terror as their captain is being forcefully absorbed into the demon. Within seconds, there's nothing left of the captain except his heavy armor and weaponry, which rattles to the ground with a 'CLANK' sound.
For a moment, things go awfully silent. However, having absorbed the captain, the demon changes its size until he rises at 2m creature.
"Who's...next?..."
The demon spews those words as the magistrates break their formation and run for their own lives. Since now they know they absolutely had no chance against this monstrosity, they better go home or become the demon feast the next day.
The Big Demon prepares to give chase to the cowardly magistrates, however...
"I see, so this is the Demon Kagaya-san talking about?"
"Apparently indeed, master. Although I must admit that the demon become quite big"
"Can't be helped, Kitsu. More importantly..."
A man with light blue haori, and wearing a Kitsune mask with a horrendous appearance appeared before the demon. In the man's right hand, a cobalt katana blade is already unsheathed.
